Question

Implement the following Racket functions:

Symmetric-Closure  

Input: a list of pairs, L. Interpreting L as a binary relation, Symmetric-Closure should return the symmetric closure of L.

Examples:

(Symmetric-Closure '((a a) (a b) (b a) (b c) (c b))) 

    ---> '((a a) (a b) (b a) (b c) (c b))

(Symmetric-Closure '((a a) (a b) (a c))) 

    ---> '((a a) (a b) (a c) (b a) (c a))

(Symmetric-Closure '((a a) (b b))) 

    ---> '((a a) (b b))

(Symmetric-Closure '()) 

    ---> '()

You must use recursion, and not iteration. You may not use side-effects (e.g. set!).
